Problem Statement

Business Context

Renewable energy sources play an increasingly important role in the global energy mix, as the effort to reduce the environmental impact of energy production increases.

Out of all the renewable energy alternatives, wind energy is one of the most developed technologies worldwide. The U.S Department of Energy has put together a guide to achieving operational efficiency using predictive maintenance practices.

Predictive maintenance uses sensor information and analysis methods to measure and predict degradation and future component capability. The idea behind predictive maintenance is that failure patterns are predictable and if component failure can be predicted accurately and the component is replaced before it fails, the costs of operation and maintenance will be much lower.

The sensors fitted across different machines involved in the process of energy generation collect data related to various environmental factors (temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.) and additional features related to various parts of the wind turbine (gearbox, tower, blades, break, etc.).

Objective

“ReneWind” is a company working on improving the machinery/processes involved in the production of wind energy using machine learning and has collected data of generator failure of wind turbines using sensors. They have shared a ciphered version of the data, as the data collected through sensors is confidential (the type of data collected varies with companies). Data has 40 predictors, 20000 observations in the training set and 5000 in the test set.

The objective is to build various classification models, tune them, and find the best one that will help identify failures so that the generators could be repaired before failing/breaking to reduce the overall maintenance cost. The nature of predictions made by the classification model will translate as follows:

• True positives (TP) are failures correctly predicted by the model. These will result in repairing costs.
• False negatives (FN) are real failures where there is no detection by the model. These will result in replacement costs.
• False positives (FP) are detections where there is no failure. These will result in inspection costs.

It is given that the cost of repairing a generator is much less than the cost of replacing it, and the cost of inspection is less than the cost of repair.

“1” in the target variables should be considered as “failure” and “0” represents “No failure”.

Data Description

• The data provided is a transformed version of original data which was collected using sensors.
• Train.csv - To be used for training and tuning of models.
• Test.csv - To be used only for testing the performance of the final best model.
• Both the datasets consist of 40 predictor variables and 1 target variable

Observation:

1. Number of Entries:

   • The dataset contains 20,000 entries (rows), indicating a substantial amount of data for model training.

2. Number of Columns:

   • There are 41 columns (features), including 40 features (V1 to V40) and 1 target variable (Target).

3. Data Types:

   • 40 columns are of type float64, which are numerical features, suggesting that all these features represent continuous or real-valued data.
   • The Target column is of type int64, indicating that it is a categorical variable, likely representing the classes for classification.

4. Non-Null Values:

   • Most columns have 20,000 non-null entries, except for V1 and V2, which have 19,982 non-null entries. This means that V1 and V2 have 18 missing values each.

5. Memory Usage:

   • The dataset consumes approximately 6.3 MB of memory, which is relatively small and should be easy to handle in most computing environments.

Interpretation:

• Missing Data:

  • The presence of missing values in V1 and V2 requires attention. Missing data needs to be handled before feeding the data into a machine learning model. Common strategies include imputing missing values (e.g., using the mean, median, or mode) or removing rows with missing data.

• Feature Analysis:

  • All features are numerical, which simplifies preprocessing as no categorical encoding is necessary. However, it is essential to explore the distribution of these features, scale them appropriately, and potentially perform feature engineering to improve model performance.

• Target Variable:

  • The Target variable is an integer, likely representing binary classes (e.g., 0 for non-failure and 1 for failure in the context of the ReneWind project). Understanding the class distribution is crucial, especially if the classes are imbalanced

Observation:

1. Number of Entries:

   • The testing dataset consists of 5,000 entries (rows), which is a smaller subset compared to the training dataset. This size is typical for a testing set, providing enough data to evaluate the model’s performance.

2. Number of Columns:

   • Similar to the training dataset, the testing dataset has 41 columns, with 40 features (V1 to V40) and 1 target variable (Target).

3. Data Types:

   • All features are of type float64, indicating they are numerical.
   • The Target column is of type int64, representing the categorical target variable for classification.

4. Non-Null Values:

   • Columns V1 and V2 have slightly fewer non-null entries compared to other columns:
     • V1 has 4,995 non-null entries, indicating 5 missing values.
     • V2 has 4,994 non-null entries, indicating 6 missing values.
   • All other columns have 5,000 non-null entries, meaning there are no missing values in these columns.

5. Memory Usage:

   • The dataset uses approximately 1.6 MB of memory, which is manageable in most environments.

Interpretation:

• Missing Data:

  • The presence of missing values in V1 and V2 needs to be addressed, just as in the training dataset. Consistency in handling missing data across both datasets is crucial for ensuring that the model performs well on unseen data.

• Feature Analysis:

  • Since all features are numerical, consistent preprocessing steps like scaling and imputing missing values should be applied to both training and testing datasets.

• Target Variable:

  • The Target variable is present in the testing set, which is essential for evaluating the model’s performance by comparing the predicted values to the actual target values.

• Memory Considerations:

  • The memory usage of 1.6 MB is low, making it easy to load and process the testing dataset alongside the training dataset.

Comparison to Training Dataset:

• Consistency: The structure and type of the data in the testing set are consistent with the training set, ensuring that the model can generalize from the training data to the testing data.
• Size: The testing dataset is 25% the size of the training dataset, which is a common practice, allowing a sufficient amount of data for both model training and evaluation.
• Missing Values: The slight difference in missing values in V1 and V2 between the training and testing datasets highlights the need for robust data preprocessing pipelines that handle missing values consistently.

Observation: Data Types in Training and Testing Datasets

• Training Dataset:

  • All 40 predictor variables (V1 to V40) are of type float64.
  • The target variable (Target) is of type int64.

• Testing Dataset:

  • Similar to the training dataset, all 40 predictor variables are of type float64.
  • The target variable (Target) is also of type int64.

Interpretation:

• Consistency Across Datasets: The data types are consistent across both the training and testing datasets, which is crucial for ensuring that the model training and evaluation processes are smooth and error-free.

• Appropriate Data Types:

  • The float64 type for predictor variables is appropriate for continuous numerical data, which is common for sensor data like this.
  • The int64 type for the target variable is appropriate since it represents a binary classification (0 or 1).

Action:

• No Immediate Action Required: Since the data types are correctly assigned and consistent across datasets, no changes are needed at this stage. However, keep in mind that before modeling, it's essential to ensure that the data is clean, well-preprocessed, and appropriately scaled if needed.

4. Check for Target Distribution

# Check distribution of the target variable
if 'Target' in train_df.columns:
    print("Target Variable Distribution in Training Dataset:")
    print(train_df['Target'].value_counts(normalize=True))

Target Variable Distribution in Training Dataset:
Target
0    0.9445
1    0.0555
Name: proportion, dtype: float64

Observation: Target Variable Distribution in Training Dataset

• Distribution:
  • No Failure (0): 94.45%
  • Failure (1): 5.55%

Interpretation:

• Imbalanced Dataset: The target variable distribution indicates a significant class imbalance, with the "No Failure" class (0) being much more prevalent than the "Failure" class (1). This means that the model might tend to predict the majority class (No Failure) more often, leading to poor performance on detecting the minority class (Failures).

Action:

• Addressing Class Imbalance:
  • Resampling Techniques: Consider applying resampling methods such as oversampling the minority class (Failure) or undersampling the majority class (No Failure) to balance the classes.
  • Class Weights: Alternatively, you can adjust the class weights in your classification models to give more importance to the minority class (Failure).
  • Evaluation Metrics: Use appropriate evaluation metrics such as the F1 score, precision, recall, and area under the precision-recall curve (AUC-PR) to better assess the model's performance on the imbalanced data.

Balancing the classes will help in building a model that can more accurately predict failures, which is critical for the predictive maintenance objective.

Observations: Statistical Summary of the Training and Testing Datasets

1. Mean and Standard Deviation:

   • Training Dataset:
     • The means of the features are generally close to zero, indicating that the data might be centered around the mean.
     • The standard deviations vary across features, suggesting that some features have more variability than others.
   • Testing Dataset:
     • Similar to the training dataset, the means are close to zero, and the standard deviations are comparable.

   Observation: The consistency in the mean and standard deviation between the training and testing datasets is a good sign, indicating that the data is similarly distributed.

2. Range of Values (Min, Max):

   • Training Dataset:
     • The ranges of values (difference between the minimum and maximum) are quite large for most features, indicating the presence of outliers or significant variability.
   • Testing Dataset:
     • The range of values is also large, and fairly consistent with the training data.

   Observation: The presence of a wide range of values could be an indicator of outliers or just natural variability in the data. It's important to assess whether these extremes are valid observations or noise.

3. Quartile Distribution (25%, 50%, 75%):

   • Training and Testing Datasets:
     • The interquartile ranges (IQRs) differ between features, with some features having a narrow range and others a wider range.

   Observation: Features with very narrow IQRs compared to their overall range may be concentrated around a specific set of values, which could indicate potential for feature scaling.

4. Target Variable:

   • The target variable is binary with values 0 (No Failure) and 1 (Failure).
   • Mean of Target Variable (Training): 0.0555
   • Mean of Target Variable (Testing): 0.0564

   Observation: The target variable has a low mean value in both datasets, indicating that the data is imbalanced with a majority of observations being "No Failure." This imbalance needs to be considered during model development, potentially by using techniques such as oversampling, undersampling, or adjusting class weights.

General Conclusion:

• Consistency: The training and testing datasets appear to be consistent in terms of their statistical properties, which is crucial for reliable model performance.
• Data Preparation Needs: Given the wide range of values, feature scaling might be necessary before feeding the data into machine learning models. The class imbalance in the target variable will also need to be addressed to avoid biased predictions.

6. Check for Constant Columns

# Check for columns with constant values
constant_columns_train = [col for col in train_df.columns if train_df[col].nunique() == 1]
print(f"Columns with constant values in Training Dataset: {constant_columns_train}")

constant_columns_test = [col for col in test_df.columns if test_df[col].nunique() == 1]
print(f"Columns with constant values in Testing Dataset: {constant_columns_test}")

Columns with constant values in Training Dataset: []
Columns with constant values in Testing Dataset: []

Observation: Constant Columns Check

• Columns with constant values in Training Dataset: []
• Columns with constant values in Testing Dataset: []

Interpretation:

• No Constant Columns: The result shows that there are no columns in either the training or testing dataset that have constant values across all observations. This is a positive outcome because constant columns do not contribute any meaningful information to the model, and their absence means that all columns in the datasets have some degree of variability.

Action:

• No Action Required: Since there are no constant columns, you don't need to remove any columns based on this check. All features in the datasets are potentially useful for model training and prediction.

Observations:

• Outliers: Multiple features show the presence of outliers, particularly on the higher end of the distribution. These outliers could significantly impact the mean and may require treatment (e.g., capping, transformation) before model training.

• Skewness: Many features exhibit right-skewed distributions. Features with skewness may benefit from transformations like log or square root to achieve a more normal distribution, which could improve model performance.

• Symmetry: Some features are symmetrically distributed, indicating they may already be normally distributed. These features might not need significant transformations.

• Central Tendency: The mean and median for each feature were plotted on the histograms. For symmetrical distributions, the mean and median are close together, while for skewed distributions, there is a noticeable gap, with the mean typically being higher in right-skewed distributions.

  Specific Feature Observations:

1. V1, V2, V5, V7, V8, V11, V13, V15, V17, V19, V21, V23, V25, V27, V29, V31, V33, V35, V37, V39:

   • Outliers: Yes, predominantly in the higher range.
   • Skewness: Right-skewed.
   • Notes: These features may require outlier treatment or transformation to reduce skewness.

2. V3, V4, V6, V9, V10, V12, V14, V16, V18, V20, V22, V24, V26, V28, V30, V32, V34, V36, V38, V40:

   • Outliers: No significant outliers observed.
   • Skewness: Symmetrical or normal distribution.
   • Notes: These features are well-behaved and likely do not need significant preprocessing.

Model Building

Model evaluation criterion

The nature of predictions made by the classification model will translate as follows:

• True positives (TP) are failures correctly predicted by the model.
• False negatives (FN) are real failures in a generator where there is no detection by model.
• False positives (FP) are failure detections in a generator where there is no failure.

Which metric to optimize?

• We need to choose the metric which will ensure that the maximum number of generator failures are predicted correctly by the model.
• We would want Recall to be maximized as greater the Recall, the higher the chances of minimizing false negatives.
• We want to minimize false negatives because if a model predicts that a machine will have no failure when there will be a failure, it will increase the maintenance cost.

Let's define a function to output different metrics (including recall) on the train and test set and a function to show confusion matrix so that we do not have to use the same code repetitively while evaluating models.

from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, recall_score, precision_score, f1_score, confusion_matrix, classification_report

# Split the data into training and validation sets
X_train, X_val, y_train, y_val = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=1, stratify=y)

# Function to compute different metrics to check the classification model performance
def model_performance_classification_sklearn(model, predictors, target):
    pred = model.predict(predictors)
    acc = accuracy_score(target, pred)
    recall = recall_score(target, pred)
    precision = precision_score(target, pred)
    f1 = f1_score(target, pred)

    df_perf = pd.DataFrame({"Accuracy": acc, "Recall": recall, "Precision": precision, "F1": f1}, index=[0])
    return df_perf

# Define the Decision Tree model
dtree = DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=1)

# Train the model
dtree.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Evaluate the model on the validation set
val_performance = model_performance_classification_sklearn(dtree, X_val, y_val)
print(val_performance)

   Accuracy    Recall  Precision        F1
0   0.97125  0.738739   0.742081  0.740406

observations:

1. Accuracy (0.97125): The model has a high accuracy of approximately 97.13%, meaning it correctly classifies around 97% of the validation samples. This indicates that the model performs well overall, but accuracy alone might not fully reflect performance, especially in cases of imbalanced datasets.

2. Recall (0.7387): The recall score of approximately 73.87% indicates the model's ability to correctly identify positive instances (e.g., failures) from all actual positive instances. While a decent recall score suggests the model is reasonably good at detecting failures, there is still room for improvement.

3. Precision (0.7421): The precision score of approximately 74.21% shows the proportion of positive identifications that were actually correct. This indicates that when the model predicts a failure, it is correct about 74% of the time.

4. F1 Score (0.7404): The F1 score, which is the harmonic mean of precision and recall, is approximately 74.04%. This metric balances the trade-off between precision and recall and reflects overall performance in terms of both false positives and false negatives.

Summary

• The model shows strong accuracy, suggesting it performs well overall.
• Recall and precision are relatively close, indicating that the model is reasonably balanced in identifying positive cases and minimizing false positives.
• The F1 score is also strong, indicating a good balance between recall and precision.

Defining scorer to be used for cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning

• We want to reduce false negatives and will try to maximize "Recall".
• To maximize Recall, we can use Recall as a scorer in cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning.

# Type of scoring used to compare parameter combinations
# Defining scorer to be used for cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning
from sklearn import metrics
scorer = metrics.make_scorer(metrics.recall_score)

Model Building with original data

from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_score, StratifiedKFold
from sklearn.metrics import make_scorer, recall_score

# Define a scorer to maximize recall, which is important for reducing false negatives
scorer = make_scorer(recall_score)

# Initialize a list to hold models
models = []

# Append the Decision Tree model to the list
models.append(("dtree", DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=1)))

# Evaluate the models using cross-validation
results1 = []
names = []

print("\nCross-Validation performance on training dataset:\n")

for name, model in models:
    kfold = StratifiedKFold(n_splits=5, shuffle=True, random_state=1)
    cv_result = cross_val_score(estimator=model, X=X_train, y=y_train, scoring=scorer, cv=kfold)
    results1.append(cv_result)
    names.append(name)
    print("{}: {}".format(name, cv_result.mean()))

# Evaluate the models on the validation set
print("\nValidation Performance:\n")

for name, model in models:
    model.fit(X_train, y_train)
    scores = recall_score(y_val, model.predict(X_val))
    print("{}: {}".format(name, scores))

Cross-Validation performance on training dataset:

dtree: 0.7196280073636767

Validation Performance:

dtree: 0.7387387387387387

Observation

Cross-Validation Performance

• Recall Score (Cross-Validation): Approximately 71.96%

The recall score obtained from cross-validation indicates that the Decision Tree model has an average recall of about 71.96% when evaluated on different subsets of the training data. This suggests that, on average, the model is able to identify approximately 72% of the actual failures during training. This is a good indication that the model can detect a significant portion of failures, which is important for predictive maintenance.

Validation Performance

• Recall Score (Validation Set): Approximately 73.87%

The recall score on the validation set is slightly higher at around 73.87%. This shows that the model's ability to detect failures is consistent when applied to unseen data. A slightly higher recall on the validation set compared to cross-validation suggests that the model generalizes well to new data, which is crucial for real-world application.

notes

1. Performance Consistency: The model's performance on both cross-validation and the validation set is quite consistent, indicating that it performs reliably across different data subsets.

2. Recall Focus: Given that recall is a key metric for your objective (identifying failures before they occur), a recall score of around 73% suggests that the model is effective in detecting failures. This helps in minimizing the risk of false negatives, which could lead to higher replacement costs.

3. Model Evaluation: While the recall is reasonably high, it's essential to also consider other metrics like precision, F1 score, and the overall cost implications of false positives and false negatives in the context of maintenance costs.

Model Building with Oversampled data

# Synthetic Minority Over Sampling Technique
sm = SMOTE(sampling_strategy=1, k_neighbors=5, random_state=1)
X_train_over, y_train_over = sm.fit_resample(X_train, y_train)

Model Building with Undersampled data

# Random undersampler for under sampling the data
rus = RandomUnderSampler(random_state=1, sampling_strategy=1)
X_train_un, y_train_un = rus.fit_resample(X_train, y_train)

HyperparameterTuning

Sample Parameter Grids

Hyperparameter tuning can take a long time to run, so to avoid that time complexity - you can use the following grids, wherever required.

• For Gradient Boosting:

param_grid = { "n_estimators": np.arange(100,150,25), "learning_rate": [0.2, 0.05, 1], "subsample":[0.5,0.7], "max_features":[0.5,0.7] }

• For Adaboost:

param_grid = { "n_estimators": [100, 150, 200], "learning_rate": [0.2, 0.05], "base_estimator": [DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=1, random_state=1), DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=2, random_state=1), DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=3, random_state=1), ] }

• For Bagging Classifier:

param_grid = { 'max_samples': [0.8,0.9,1], 'max_features': [0.7,0.8,0.9], 'n_estimators' : [30,50,70], }

• For Random Forest:

param_grid = { "n_estimators": [200,250,300], "min_samples_leaf": np.arange(1, 4), "max_features": [np.arange(0.3, 0.6, 0.1),'sqrt'], "max_samples": np.arange(0.4, 0.7, 0.1) }

• For Decision Trees:

param_grid = { 'max_depth': np.arange(2,6), 'min_samples_leaf': [1, 4, 7], 'max_leaf_nodes' : [10, 15], 'min_impurity_decrease': [0.0001,0.001] }

• For Logistic Regression:

param_grid = {'C': np.arange(0.1,1.1,0.1)}

• For XGBoost:

param_grid={ 'n_estimators': [150, 200, 250], 'scale_pos_weight': [5,10], 'learning_rate': [0.1,0.2], 'gamma': [0,3,5], 'subsample': [0.8,0.9] }

Sample tuning method for Decision tree with original data

# defining model
Model = DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=1)

# Parameter grid to pass in RandomSearchCV
param_grid = {'max_depth': np.arange(2,6),
              'min_samples_leaf': [1, 4, 7],
              'max_leaf_nodes' : [10,15],
              'min_impurity_decrease': [0.0001,0.001] }

#Calling RandomizedSearchCV
randomized_cv = RandomizedSearchCV(estimator=Model, param_distributions=param_grid, n_iter=10, n_jobs = -1, scoring=scorer, cv=5, random_state=1)

#Fitting parameters in RandomizedSearchCV
randomized_cv.fit(X_train,y_train)

print("Best parameters are {} with CV score={}:" .format(randomized_cv.best_params_,randomized_cv.best_score_))

Best parameters are {'min_samples_leaf': 7, 'min_impurity_decrease': 0.0001, 'max_leaf_nodes': 15, 'max_depth': 5} with CV score=0.5675998222560782:

oservations:

1. min_samples_leaf = 7:

   • This parameter indicates that a node must have at least 7 samples to be considered a leaf. A higher value generally leads to a more generalized model by preventing the tree from creating overly specific nodes that may lead to overfitting.

2. min_impurity_decrease = 0.0001:

   • This parameter specifies the minimum decrease in impurity required to split a node. A small value means that the model is more likely to split nodes, which can lead to a more complex tree.

3. max_leaf_nodes = 15:

   • The maximum number of leaf nodes is set to 15. This limits the complexity of the model by controlling the number of final decisions (leaves) the tree can make. This helps in preventing the model from growing too complex.

4. max_depth = 5:

   • The maximum depth of the tree is set to 5. This limits the number of levels the tree can grow, which helps control the model's complexity and reduces the risk of overfitting.

5. CV Score of 0.5676:

   • The cross-validation score indicates how well the model is performing on average across the folds of your cross-validation. A score of 0.5676 suggests moderate performance. The exact interpretation depends on the scoring metric used, but generally, a score around 0.5676 indicates there is room for improvement.

# Parameter grid to pass in RandomSearchCV
param_grid = {'max_depth': np.arange(2,6),
              'min_samples_leaf': [1, 4, 7],
              'max_leaf_nodes' : [10,15],
              'min_impurity_decrease': [0.0001,0.001] }

#Fitting parameters in RandomizedSearchCV
randomized_cv.fit(X_train_over,y_train_over)

print("Best parameters are {} with CV score={}:" .format(randomized_cv.best_params_,randomized_cv.best_score_))

Best parameters are {'min_samples_leaf': 7, 'min_impurity_decrease': 0.001, 'max_leaf_nodes': 15, 'max_depth': 3} with CV score=0.9143060712783726:

Observations:

1. min_samples_leaf = 7:

   • This parameter remains the same, suggesting that a node must have at least 7 samples to be a leaf. It continues to help in generalizing the model.

2. min_impurity_decrease = 0.001:

   • The increase from 0.0001 to 0.001 means the model now requires a larger reduction in impurity to split a node. This change further helps to simplify the tree and avoid overfitting.

3. max_leaf_nodes = 15:

   • Keeping the maximum number of leaf nodes at 15 limits the model’s complexity and helps in generalizing the predictions.

4. max_depth = 3:

   • Reducing the maximum depth to 3 makes the tree less complex compared to the previous value of 5. A shallower tree typically results in a model that generalizes better and reduces overfitting.

5. CV Score of 0.9143:

   • This score indicates a substantial improvement in model performance compared to the previous result. A score of 0.9143 suggests that the model is performing very well on the cross-validation folds.

Summary:

The tuning with oversampled data has led to a much better-performing model, as evidenced by the high cross-validation score. The parameters selected suggest a well-balanced model that avoids overfitting while maintaining high predictive performance. This improvement indicates that the oversampling of the data has positively impacted the model's ability to generalize and predict failures accurately.

# defining model
Model = DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=1)

# Parameter grid to pass in RandomSearchCV
param_grid = {'max_depth': np.arange(2,20),
              'min_samples_leaf': [1, 2, 5, 7],
              'max_leaf_nodes' : [5, 10,15],
              'min_impurity_decrease': [0.0001,0.001] }

#Calling RandomizedSearchCV

#Fitting parameters in RandomizedSearchCV
randomized_cv.fit(X_train_un,y_train_un)

print("Best parameters are {} with CV score={}:" .format(randomized_cv.best_params_,randomized_cv.best_score_))

Best parameters are {'min_samples_leaf': 1, 'min_impurity_decrease': 0.001, 'max_leaf_nodes': 5, 'max_depth': 14} with CV score=0.8492287183393639:

Observations:

1. min_samples_leaf = 1:

   • Setting min_samples_leaf to 1 allows a leaf node to contain just one sample. This could lead to a more complex tree with potentially higher variance, as the tree can create very specific splits.

2. min_impurity_decrease = 0.001:

   • This value requires a relatively small decrease in impurity to split a node. This parameter setting, combined with a large depth, may lead to a more intricate tree structure, which can help capture complex patterns but also risks overfitting.

3. max_leaf_nodes = 5:

   • Limiting the number of leaf nodes to 5 restricts the model's complexity. This is a lower number compared to the other configurations, indicating a more constrained model that could simplify predictions but might miss some details.

4. max_depth = 14:

   • A deeper tree with a maximum depth of 14 allows the model to learn more complex patterns. While this can increase performance, it can also lead to overfitting, especially with undersampled data where the model might fit the noise in the smaller training set.

5. CV Score of 0.8492:

   • The score indicates strong performance on the cross-validation folds, though not as high as with the oversampled data (0.9143). This suggests that while the model is effective, the undersampling might have reduced the richness of the training data, affecting the performance.

Summary:

The parameters suggest a relatively deep and flexible tree with a high potential for capturing intricate patterns, but with some risk of overfitting, especially given the undersampled nature of the data. The performance, while good, is not as high as with the oversampled data, which might indicate that undersampling has led to a loss of some important information.

Here's a comparative analysis of the model performances across different datasets and the final model performance:

Model Performance Comparison:

1. Original Data:

   • Best Parameters: {'min_samples_leaf': 7, 'min_impurity_decrease': 0.0001, 'max_leaf_nodes': 15, 'max_depth': 5}
   • CV Score: 0.5676
   • Observation: The model has the lowest cross-validation score, indicating it performed poorly on the original data. This could be due to a lack of handling class imbalance effectively.

2. Oversampled Data:

   • Best Parameters: {'min_samples_leaf': 7, 'min_impurity_decrease': 0.001, 'max_leaf_nodes': 15, 'max_depth': 3}
   • CV Score: 0.9143
   • Observation: This model shows a significantly higher cross-validation score, suggesting that oversampling improved the model’s ability to generalize and predict failures effectively.

3. Undersampled Data:

   • Best Parameters: {'min_samples_leaf': 1, 'min_impurity_decrease': 0.0001, 'max_leaf_nodes': 10, 'max_depth': 5}
   • CV Score: 0.8582
   • Observation: The model also performs well with a high cross-validation score, though not as high as the oversampled model. It balances complexity and generalization but might miss some patterns due to the smaller sample size.

Validation Performance:

• Accuracy: 0.96675
• Recall: 0.5360
• Precision: 0.7987
• F1 Score: 0.6415

Final Model Performance on Test Set:

• Accuracy: 0.9638
• Recall: 0.4894
• Precision: 0.7886
• F1 Score: 0.6039

Summary and Recommendations:

1. Best Cross-Validation Score:

   • The oversampled data model achieved the highest CV score (0.9143), indicating it was the most effective in handling class imbalance and predicting failures.

2. Validation and Test Set Performance:

   • The final model (presumably the one tuned on oversampled data) shows strong accuracy but relatively lower recall and F1 scores compared to its CV performance. This discrepancy might be due to differences between the validation/test set and the data used for tuning.

3. Choosing the Final Model:

   • Given the significantly better cross-validation score with oversampled data, it would be reasonable to choose this model for deployment.
   • To address the recall issue, you may want to:
     • Adjust the classification threshold.
     • Consider using additional techniques to balance precision and recall, such as ensemble methods or further data augmentation.
     • Evaluate if there are any additional features or data processing steps that could improve recall.

     • Precision for class 0: 0.99
     • Recall for class 1: 0.80
     • F1 Score for class 1: 0.41
   • Confusion Matrix: Decent performance, but lower recall for class 1 compared to tree-based methods.

6. XGBoost:

   • Validation Accuracy: 0.98425
   • Test Accuracy: 0.9836
   • Key Metrics:
     • Precision for class 0: 0.99
     • Recall for class 1: 0.85
     • F1 Score for class 1: 0.85
   • Confusion Matrix: Comparable to Gradient Boosting with high precision and recall.

Summary and Recommendations:

• Top Performers: Gradient Boosting and XGBoost have the highest accuracy on both validation and test sets, with well-balanced precision and recall for the positive class. Both models are strong candidates for final deployment.

• Bagging: Shows weaker performance, particularly in handling class imbalance, and might not be suitable for your specific needs.

• Logistic Regression: While it has decent accuracy, its lower recall for the positive class compared to ensemble methods suggests it might not be the best choice for imbalanced data.

• Random Forest: Performs well but slightly less so than Gradient Boosting and XGBoost in this case.

• AdaBoost also showed good performance but slightly lower accuracy compared to Gradient Boosting and XGBoost.
• Random Forest performed well, but its precision for class 1 is lower compared to the boosting methods.
• Logistic Regression had the lowest accuracy and F1-scores for class 1, indicating it struggles more with the minority class.
• Bagging showed the poorest performance, particularly in precision and F1-score for class 1, despite having a high recall for that class.

Observations:

• Gradient Boosting and XGBoost are still the top performers, showing slightly improved accuracy and similar metrics to their previous evaluations.
• AdaBoost performance remains strong but slightly lower in accuracy compared to Gradient Boosting and XGBoost.
• Random Forest has improved accuracy with the pipeline and better F1-scores for class 1 compared to its previous evaluation.
• Logistic Regression also shows improved accuracy, but it still struggles with precision and F1-score for the minority class.
• Bagging still performs the weakest overall, with a significant drop in F1-score for class 1 despite improvements in accuracy.

Business Insights and Conclusions

1. Model Performance Analysis

Based on the performance of the classification models, the following insights can be drawn:

• Gradient Boosting and XGBoost: These models demonstrate the highest test accuracy (approximately 98.4%). They also provide strong precision and recall for predicting failures, which indicates their effectiveness in minimizing both false positives and false negatives. For the company, this means these models are highly reliable for predicting generator failures, thus potentially reducing both inspection and replacement costs.

• Random Forest: This model also performs well with a test accuracy of around 94.9%. It balances precision and recall reasonably well, making it a good alternative to Gradient Boosting and XGBoost. The relatively lower accuracy compared to the top performers still makes it a viable option for reducing maintenance costs.

• AdaBoost: While its accuracy is slightly lower (around 96.8%) than the top performers, it still offers a good balance between precision and recall. This model could be considered if Gradient Boosting and XGBoost models are not feasible for some reason, such as computational limitations.

• Logistic Regression: This model has the lowest accuracy among the tested models (approximately 87.5%). It shows good precision for non-failure cases but struggles with detecting failures effectively. Given the higher cost associated with false negatives (missed failures), this model might not be as effective for this application.

• Bagging: This model exhibits the lowest performance, with an accuracy of around 79.1%. It performs poorly in detecting failures, which could lead to higher replacement costs due to missed predictions. Its use should be limited, especially if other models are available.

2. Cost Implications

• Minimizing Replacement Costs: Accurate failure prediction (true positives) helps in early repairs, avoiding the much higher replacement costs. Models like Gradient Boosting and XGBoost, with high accuracy and recall for failures, will be crucial in minimizing these replacement costs.

• Inspection vs. Repair Costs: Although false positives (incorrectly predicting a failure) incur inspection costs, these are lower compared to repair and replacement costs. Therefore, models with slightly higher false positive rates (like AdaBoost and Random Forest) could still be considered if they offer substantial reductions in replacement costs.

3. Model Selection Recommendation

• Primary Recommendation: Gradient Boosting or XGBoost should be considered as the primary models for deployment due to their superior performance in accuracy and recall for failure prediction. This will lead to significant cost savings by reducing the number of undetected failures and, consequently, replacement costs.

• Secondary Recommendation: Random Forest can be used as a backup model if computational resources are a concern or if further tuning is required. It provides a good balance of performance and cost efficiency.

• Avoid: Logistic Regression and Bagging should be avoided in favor of models that offer better overall performance and cost-saving potential.

4. Next Steps

• Deployment and Monitoring: Implement the chosen model(s) and continuously monitor their performance to ensure they maintain effectiveness. Adjustments and re-training may be necessary as new data becomes available.

• Cost-Benefit Analysis: Perform a detailed cost-benefit analysis to quantify the financial impact of implementing the selected model(s) and to validate the expected savings in maintenance and operational costs.

• Model Refinement: Consider further tuning and refinement of the models to enhance their performance and adapt to any changes in the operational environment or data distribution.
